An 18-year-old Faulkner University student died Sunday in a single car accident while driving to LaFayette to preach, according to a release from the school.

Major Sanders, a freshman criminal justice major from Stockbridge, Ga., drove 90 minutes every Sunday to preach to the small congregation at the Lafayette Church of Christ near the Alabama-Georgia border, according to the school. On his way to LaFayette, he dropped off his brother Malvin to help with a youth group at a church in Opelika. Malvin is a senior at Faulkner majoring in Biblical studies.
